I am using Qt 5.1 and the Qt Quick Controls provided with it inorder to implement the user interface.
I want to launch a (child) window when user clicks on a button. The part where I am confused is how I do it.
Here is my code:
import QtQuick 2.1
import QtWebKit 3.0
import QtQuick.Controls 1.0
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.0
ApplicationWindow {
title: "Facebook Authorizer"
width: 300
height: 300
ColumnLayout {
id: mainLayout
anchors.fill: parent
Button {
id: authorizationLauncher
text: "Authorize Facebook Account"
Layout.fillWidth: true
onClicked: {
var component = Qt.createComponent("authorization-browser.qml");
var browserWindow = component.createObject(this);
}
}
}
}
As shown above, I tried to use Qt.createComponent to load a qml file, and launch a window by creating its instance. It didn’t work. I tried to follow this link. [qt-project.org]
The article pointed by the link also states that “Objects can also be created and managed from C++, and this is the preferred method for hybrid QML/C++ applications.”. My application, indeed, will contain a hybrid code. So, I thought this could be a better way. I did some reading on how to implement this, however, sadly failed to understand the implementation.
Could anyone try and explain the process using this example – When user presses a button in the main QML window, another QML windows should launch.
Some abstract explanation and links to articles that demonstrate this using Qt5+ would be welcome, too.
